For me that is precisely why they're calling it "Executive Suite" when they don't have any other, lower category of full suites on site.

Hey, but I'm hoping someone can prove me wrong….
The SNA upgrade is for the first category of suites at an SPG hotel--assuming the hotel isn't considered an all-suite property. Unless the property has some exemption, the Executive Suite would be the entry suite category (assuming they don't have a Junior Suite category, of course).
